Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
It’s rough, but does have the data plate to prove it was a “D” model. This may have some Allstate hubs.

The Clary Flange (a couple of these pics are seen in this thread, but I don’t know the original source):
This set of used Kelly Hubs appears in good shape. They were manufactured at the Kelly plant in Charleston, West Virginia, probably around the late 1950s or early 1960s. A descendent of the Kelly founder who worked at the plant indicated they were also made there. I believe they were invented by D.L. Beck, who filed a patent very similar to these in 1957. Beck happens to be the same man who founded the D.L. Beck Manufacturing Company in Middleport, Ohio, which made Beck hard tops in the late 40s/early 50s, a company later bought by Hubert Kelly and rebranded Kelly Mfg. They are a 10-spline hub.
“Good Used Set of Kelly Mfg Self-Lock Hubs. Removed from 1948 Dana 25 front axle. Will fit Jeep Willys Spicer Dana Model 25 27 Front Axle with 10 spline ends. Cleaned to check for cracks and breaks. Both hubs work well. May want to disassemble and regrease”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
These appear to be 19 spline Husky Hubs (I counted the splines). Anyone see a reason why these wouldn’t work on a 19 spline jeep axle/hub?
“THIS IS A NEW HUSKY MODEL NO. 002, LOCKING HUBS FOR THE WM 200 DODGE POWER WAGON. FREE SHIPPING INSIDE THE USA. IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA YOU MUST PAY SALES TAX”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
(02/16/2017) Set of 2nd generation “summer” hubs. You can see various summer hubs here.
“Warn vintage aftermarket hubcaps for Willy’s Jeep
Also comes with the box and the instructions
Hubcaps are in nicely used condition and would polish up nice
Box is filthy and damaged on one side
But still opens and latches well”
This is the earliest use of jeep hubs as winches that I can remember documenting. It was publishing in the July 1943 issue of Popular Mechanics. The McCain hub was a similar, much later idea.
UPDATE: Matt spotted a here-to-for unseen set of hubs. They are listed as #7.
Most know that Arthur Warn’s jeep-related business began with his introduction of the summer hubs, designed to allow the front axles to spin freely. They came packaged in red, green, or blue boxes. As you can see in this ad, Warn advertised them as “hub caps”, but their use during summers led people to call them “summer hubs”. He also credited them with all kinds of benefits.
Ad was posted to the CJ-2A page. I don’t have a date for it.
But, few know that there were two different types of Warn summer hubs. In addition, there were also at least three different other summer hubs produced.
7. This set appeared on eBay in October of 2018. No indication of model or maker:
If anyone knows or has photos of other summer hubs, please let me know!
One hub I’ve never seen in the wild is the Viking Hub, a 1968 product developed by Don Chapman at the Viking Automotive Equipment in Gardena, California. Before he moved to California, Chapman was active in Colorado’s offroad community and was involved in an offroad accessories in Colorado as well, most likely Dualmatic or Husky (anyone know the relationship between the two?), which were both based in Longmont.
Here’s an ad for it. Looks like a nice hub:
Four Wheeler Magazine did an article on the product and included this exploded view: 
Ted’s got a few more parts for sale, including some Kurland Summer hubs, a type I’ve never heard of, let alone seen. Ted evenings 860-429-4080 or 860-428-3265 (text) willysted@charter.net

Here’s a rare set of Kelly hubs.
“Kelly Mfg. Automatic locking hubs. These are off of a 1953 Willys CJ3a, but, should fit most Jeeps with a Dana 25 or 27 front axle. They are ten spline. These hubs were usually dealer installed options, and are in very good shape, and in working order. Great for a restoration project. $80.00, or would consider trading for a good 5.38 ring and pinion for the same Dana 25/27 front axle.”
